Events for Youth & Families: 15th Annual 90-Second Newbery Film Festival
Welcome to the fifteenth annual 90-Second Newbery Film Festival—a yearly video contest in which kid filmmakers create weird short movies that tell the entire stories of Newbery award-winning books in about 90 seconds. The screening is hosted by children's author James Kennedy (The Order of Odd-Fish) and Newbery Honor winner Rita Williams-Garcia (One Crazy Summer and more).
Admission is free! However, we recommend reserving your seat in advance to ensure admittance. https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/90secondnewbery/90-second-newbery-film-festival-brooklyn-screening
